My Conversion Story Journal

October 6, 2023

Shabbat is about to begin, but I wanted to get this entry in before I lit the candles. Dinner is already cooking, nothing great. I am home tonight and not driving until the morning. I will drive right to shul. I am sad that I will not get my A1 hugs tonight and have to wait until after evening services tomorrow, but I am thankful for the time home. I will only see A1 for a short time before going to morning service on Sunday.

I will rest tonight after candle lighting and dinner. I may even get to go to bed early. After a couple of stressful weeks, I just feel so blessed tonight. There is a peace that I have not felt in a very long time, and I know it is because I am closer to Hashem than I have ever been.

I hope you have a wonderful and restful weekend.
